Hu Mu said: "It's not just a mismatch, it's simply a huge difference. Apart from the numbers, the most terrifying thing..."

Having said this, he paused for a moment, then took out another document and continued: "Your Highness, you will know when you look at this."

Zhang Anshi took the document and looked at it carefully. His eyes suddenly widened and he couldn't help but tremble.

Although he had expected it, Zhang Anshi could not have expected that someone would play such a trick.

Zhang Anshi frowned: "Who knows about this matter?"

Hu Mu then said: "The investigation is being carried out within the Postal Department, and some people should know about it. However... after all, the Postal Department is only responsible for the post station. From the perspective of the world, this is not an important matter, and it does not cause too much concern.

A lot of attention. But even if someone pays attention to the tip of the iceberg, this specific amount, even if it is a lower official, has just been obtained. Naturally, he feels that the situation is serious, so please come here to report it as soon as possible."

Hu Mu paused and then said: "In addition, most of the civil servants in charge are graduates from various universities, or they were transferred from the Railway Department or Qixia Bank. Because the things are complicated,... almost

Everyone is working day and night, and at this time...only His Highness and the lower officials know the news."

Zhang Anshi lowered his eyes and thought deeply for a moment, then said: "Has the Postal Department verified the number? What I require is that the number is accurate, otherwise you know that throwing such things away is not a trivial matter."

Hu Mu said: "After verification, every household registration has been verified by a responsible person, from the postman to the postmaster, to the clerk of the post office and clerk of the postal department who verified it. Everyone who handled it has signed and stamped it."

Zhang Anshi thought about the process carefully, nodded, then glanced at Hu Mu happily and said, "You are better than your father."

Hu Mu was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said: "I'm going to be the official... I'm going to be the official..."

He didn't know how to respond for a moment, and it seemed that no matter how he responded, it would be wrong.

Zhang Anshi immediately said: "Then... I am here to ask you, if this is the case now, what choice would you make?"

Hu Mu only hesitated for a moment and then said: "Show it to the world."

Zhang Anshi looked at him with bright eyes and said, "Why?"

Hu Mu said: "It's a matter of national importance!"

Zhang Anshi nodded, with a slight smile on his lips, and said: "This is better than your father. In that case, you, the transport envoy of the Postal Department, report it immediately."

Hu Mu was stunned and said in surprise: "Isn't His Highness responsible for reporting?"

Zhang Anshi immediately said: "This is the hard work of the Postal Department. I cannot take the credit for this..."

Hu Mu shook his head hurriedly: "The lower officials and others all act in accordance with His Highness's orders..."

Zhang Anshi waved his hand: "Please enter the palace immediately to see me. I will naturally support you."

Hu Mu nodded.

…………

In Wenyuan Pavilion.

A eunuch came in a hurry and invited the princes of Wenyuan Pavilion to come in.

As soon as the eunuch arrived, Xie Jin and others couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

So Xie Jin said: "I wonder, father-in-law, what happened?"

"The forwarding envoy of the Postal Department reported to me that he has an important meeting to attend."

Xie Jin frowned slightly, thoughtfully.

Yang Rong glanced at Hu Guang subconsciously.

Hu Guang couldn't help but feel worried.

The postal transport envoy sounds like a big deal, but in fact, at the level of the palace, he is just a third-rank official like the salt transport envoy.

Of course, in addition, the Postal Department is a new government office, and the chief official is not as good as the salt transport envoy. It was officially promoted by the imperial court, and its value is greatly reduced. From a third-level perspective, it is not even considered a formal minister.

It is equivalent to serving as an official.

The so-called official appointment means that the emperor directly appoints officials without going through the official selection process, such as court recommendation and ministry consultation.

This violated the normal procedures of the court, but it was just to satisfy the wishes of the emperor or a concubine or eunuch in the harem, so... it was not accepted by the world.

Because of this, now that Hu Mu took the initiative to meet the saint, Hu Guang was naturally worried.

Xie Jin looked directly at Hu Guang and said: "Mr. Hu, does Mr. Hu know in advance what your son is going to report today?"

Hu Guang was not blushing on the face, but he was embarrassed in his heart, and it was difficult to talk about his son. He knew nothing about it, so he muttered, trying to find out something.

But he was afraid that Xie Jin would ask further questions. In this case, what was his son reporting, and why couldn't he answer it?

He immediately drooped his head and said in frustration: "I don't know."

Xie Jin nodded and said with a clear look: "That's pretty much it. It should be the instruction of His Highness the King of Song Dynasty."

After saying that, Xie Jin looked at the eunuch and said, "Father, did you only call me and other great bachelors?"

"And the Metropolitan Procuratorate..."

There was no expression on Xie Jin's face, and he just nodded calmly: "Let's go and see you."

Everyone was in different moods and filed silently towards the Wenlou.

In the literary building, Zhu Di had not yet ascended to the throne, but Zhang Anshi and Hu Mu had already arrived.

When acquaintances meet, it is inevitable that everyone will feel a little embarrassed at this time. The complexity of the interpersonal relationships here has a bit of the flavor of an outside drama, which is difficult to explain at the moment.

So everyone seemed to be waiting cautiously, so no one said a word.

After that, dozens or hundreds of people from the Imperial Procuratorate came in large numbers. These people obviously had doubts in their hearts and did not know why they were summoned.

It can be seen that the atmosphere here is solemn, and people dare not show their dignity.

After a long time, Zhu Di came slowly and ascended to the throne. He received a petition, saying that Hu Mu, the transfer envoy of the Postal Department, came to see him. Then, Zhang Anshi came to present again, and what he wanted to petition was the matter of the Yellow Book.

Zhu Di felt something was strange, so he summoned all the great scholars and the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate at the same time.

However, Zhu Di is obviously looking good and in a happy mood these days. The world is peaceful. When a person grows old and has done so many great things, it is not an exaggeration to call him a saint and leave it to his children and grandchildren in the future.

With such a big family background, I feel more at ease.

From another perspective, even if he went to see Emperor Taizu Gao and showed off his achievements, Emperor Taizu Gao would probably not beat himself up.

All in all, Zhu Di was quite satisfied deep in his heart at this time.

Zhu Di smiled and said: "Which one is Hu Mu?"

Hu Mu stood up.

Zhu Di looked at him, nodded and said: "The last time I saw the Qing family, the Qing family was injured and couldn't take a closer look. Today I saw them, but they were very impressive. After all, what are you going to do with such a big fanfare?"

Hu Mu then said: "Your Majesty, the Postal Department has received much love from Your Majesty since its establishment..."

Zhu Di frowned slightly, glanced at Hu Guang displeasedly, and said, "Hu Qing's family."

"Ah... I'm here..." Hu Guang was still lost in thought when he was suddenly called upon. At this time, he came back to his senses and showed a look of sincerity and fear.

Zhu Di said coldly: "Your son... just like you, likes to be verbose."

Hu Guang felt that he was a little wronged. Well, why did he talk about him from his son? He could only say helplessly: "Wan Shi."

After Hu Mu heard this, he understood it immediately and said without hesitation: "The Post Office inspected the world's yellow records and now got a number, but this number is too shocking. I realize that the matter is serious, so I came here to see you."
